He then attended the University of Minnesota where he had an impressive collegiate career; impressive enough that the Trail Blazers made him the number one pick in the 1978 NBA Draft, the first foreign-born player to be selected at that position.

    Mychal Thompson was a fixture in the Portland lineup for eight years (though one season was missed due to injury), where he started at both power forward and center positions. He was named to the 1979 All-Rookie team, and had his statistically best season in 1981-1982, where he averaged over 20 points and 11 rebounds per game. In the 1986 off-season, Mychal Thompson was traded to the Spurs in exchange for center / forward Steve Johnson.

    Mychal Thompson played only half a season with the Spurs, before he was traded again, this time to Los Angeles for center / forward Frank Brickowski, center Petur Gudmundsson and a 1990 first-round draft choice. He was brought to the LA Lakers in February 1987 to back up Kareem Abdul-Jabaar and defend the Boston Celtics forward Kevin McHale whom he played great defense against.

    Interestingly enough, this gave the LA Lakers a team that had 4 players who were overall # 1 selections in the NBA draft, (the others being Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson and James Worthy. Of those 4, Mychal Thompson is the only one not enshrined in the Basketball Hall of Fame.) Mychal Thompson helped the LA Lakers win consecutive titles in 1987 and 1988.
